PS CC 2017.1.1 - Using 'Export As... and selecting anything larger than 1x clogs up the program

PS CC 2017.1.1 - Using 'Export As... and selecting anything larger than 1x (as a jpg or png) clogs up the program. Sometimes it takes upwards of 15 minutes to export a single artboard at 2x size. Even with smaller file sizes this happens, which lends me to believe that the software is written with inefficient code to achieve a 2x file.
